ART OF BEATMAKING

Very creative video for a killer Dj..

DRAK St. LAURENT

Once upon a time an eccentric man who lived by himself and kept himself locked away until nightfall grabbed a couple turntables, a mixer and some rare breaks then created a vein emptying mix for all you blood suckin’ young bucks.
